When Maypaperflower began, paper flower paintings were still an unfamiliar concept. But from a deep love for Hue’s culture and quiet days spent beside the artisans of Thanh Tien village, May has patiently nurtured a new form for paper flowers: vivid, intricate, contemporary in spirit yet rooted in traditional elegance.
Since 2019, each piece has been the result of relentless exploration, experimentation, design, and refinement — sustained by a belief in cultural values and personal inspiration. May’s original designs are all protected by copyright and certified with the Hue Handicraft Seal, gradually gaining recognition through notable awards such as:
– First Prize, Hue Innovative Start-up Competition
– Second Prize, Vietnam Handicraft Design Contest
– Third Prize, Hue Handicraft Product Design Contest
– Ho Chi Minh City Conference Souvenir Award…
These artworks carry not only aesthetic value but also unique stories — from their dimensions, expressive techniques to the concepts inspired by the ancient capital of Hue.They are inimitable, standing as a declaration of creative ownership — not just of an individual, but of an entire community of artisans and people of Hue.
At May, we believe that ethical creativity grounded in tradition is the path to a truly sustainable future for both people and society. On this journey of preserving and evolving Hue’s paper flower craft, we hope that you — lovers of Vietnamese culture — will continue to support authentic creations that are worthy of your values.
Thank you for walking with us — so that every piece from May is not just a product, but a heartfelt tribute to Vietnamese heritage, crafted with care and purpose.
